“There Is No Lemon So Sour, That You Can’t Make Something Resembling Lemonade.”
Have you ever watched a movie or tv show that makes you cry the most horrific ugly tears one minute and have you laughing the next? Well, this show is definitely one of those.
This is Us is a Tv series focusing on a young couple who are about to have triplets. Set in 1980, the show displays all the challenges they face as a couple leading to the pregnancy and after the triplets are born. Additionally, the show flicks between 1980 and 2016/17 to show the triplets’ lives now, in modern-day. We get an emotional insight to the interlinking lives of both the triplets and parents and how they make connections in their individual lives. The show was created by Dan Fogelman, who wrote Disney’s Tangled, so we know that it’s going to be good. Just in case you need more convincing, I have made a list of all the great things about the show.

#4 The show deals with some very important issues such as adoption, body issues, loss, cancer and race.

#7 Kevin – one of the triplets is some serious eye candy.
#8 If you’re a hopeless romantic, Toby will restore your faith in love. Toby is one of the main characters in 2016/17 and has a huge part in triplet Kate’s life.

#10 It will make you cry, but it’s gonna be a mixture of happy and sad tears.
